PAINT-A-BOX STREET ARTHOGAN PLACE

A HEART IN BLOOM BY RENATA METENE

Located Grand Canal Street Lower in Dublin. Actually I would describe it as being at Hogan Place between Upper Erne Street and Harmony Row as I once lived in the area.

I mentioned Harmony Row because I recently came across a ballad by Paul O'Brien titled "To Paradise Alley from Harmony Row". [Note: I thought that the song referred to Harmony Row in Dublin but on further investigation I discovered that it was about a Scottish family who migrated to work in the Docklands of Dublin].

George Sharp, a portrait and figure painter resided at Hogan Place during the early 19th century. The surrounding area was rich in heritage and popular amongst architects, sculptors and artists.
